Report: Trafficking in Persons Report
Description from CNN.com:
The department's 2011 Trafficking in Persons Report assesses efforts by 184 governments worldwide to fight sexual exploitation, forced labor and modern-day slavery.
The annual report, considered one of the most comprehensive analyses of worldwide human trafficking, ranks countries in three "tiers."
The State Department says 27 million people are victims of human trafficking worldwide, and approximately 100,000 of those victims are in the United States.
The report looks at how traffickers operate, what kinds of victims are exploited, and most importantly, what governments are -- and in some cases are not -- doing to protect vulnerable people.

The trafficking report describes the psychological strategies that pimps use to gain control over the millions of victims exploited in the global commercial sex trade.
The report also includes data on trafficking, including forced labor, involuntary domestic servitude, child labor, child soldiers and child sex trafficking.
In addition to detailing problems many countries face, the report singles out "heroes" who -- sometimes at great threat to their own safety -- fight trafficking.
